All UART registers are 8 bits wide. They connect to the PAB bus. How-
ever, some registers share their address as controlled by the
DLAB
bit in the
UARTx_LCR
register. The
UARTx_RBR
and
UARTx_THR
registers also connect to
the DAB bus
Timer 1 provides a hardware assisted autobaud detection mechanism for
use with UART 0. Similarly, timer 6 supports UART 1. See
Description of Operation
The following sections describe the operation of the UART.
UART Transfer Protocol
UART communication follows an asynchronous serial protocol, consisting
of individual data words. A word has 5 to 8 data bits.
All data words require a start bit and at least one stop bit. With the
optional parity bit, this creates a 7- to 12-bit range for each word. The for-
mat of received and transmitted character frames is controlled by the line
control register (
UARTx_LCR
). Data is always transmitted and received least
significant bit (LSB) first.
shows a typical physical bitstream measured on one of the TX
pins.
Aside from the standard UART functionality, the UART also supports
half-duplex serial data communication via infrared signals, according to
the recommendations of the Infrared Data Association (IrDA). The physi-
cal layer known as IrDA SIR (9.6/115.2 Kbps rate) is based on
return-to-zero-inverted (RZI) modulation. Pulse position modulation is
not supported.
